I've been on the verge of buying this game numerous times. It just looks so tempting, and really hands-on, but on the contrary it has been discredited across the internet.

Can someone give me a clue of what to expect before I potentially waste $70?

I'll give this game a go if I just get that little extra push from a fan of Heavy Rain. Hiring the game is out of the question as I owe a large sum of cash to the 2 video stores I am currently signed up with. Haha, I'm not a very responsible person.

do you like and appreciate great thrillers on film? or noir at all? or even just great storytelling? If yeah then grab it immediately. It's an opportunity to actually have an active hand in something like that for once. It's above and beyond what else is going on in gaming right now. The internet is filled with people who feel the need to put down something which dares to actually get respect in an industry which isn't getting it from the rest of the nongaming population, let alone from gamers themselves and try and achieve something meaningful in a tide of superficial product. Heavy Rain was actually talked about in nongaming circles, VERY favourably.

This is not for the 14 yr old twitch gaming crowd. It's for the mature and interested in something more thought provoking and that will NOT spoonfeed you what your supposed to think or take from it.

On the other than hand, if you just want to kill things, it's probably not for you.

Thanks a lot for the reply, I needed a straight-forward answer and I got one.

I've been looking for an immersing such as the one you described. Sounds interesting and different is always good! I'm a bit tired of most of my friends sticking to just COD and COD alone, so maybe if I talk them into buying Heavy Rain, and they talk their other friends into buying the game, and other fans do the the same, a new genre of game may emerge, hopefully stray from the typical newly released game. Don't get me wrong there are some fantastic new titles being released at the moment, but change is good I like change.

Besides the fact that I don't even own the game let alone have even played it, the idea of a new genre of game is exiting! Looking forward to picking up a copy, hopefully I'll enjoy it and won't completely contradict what I've just said.

I was the same, thinking Do I buy it? Should I? Well.. I did. It's a great game.. for sure however once you finish it which is pretty quick.. well thats it. I would try and borrow it if you can somehow. Will save you money etc.. For example Modern Warfare 2 is totally worth its price as I always play it.. (Multiplayer Online)Heavy Rain is one of those amazing games.. that you play, finish and forget really then come back to it in 3 months and do it again.

we're all different, as it stands it's the only game which I've gone to the effort to platinum, I've enjoyed everybit of it. I will play it again down the track, like a great film u revisit every once and awhile, I completely agree with your sentiments LiveMat. On the otherhand, I won't be talking about Prototype in 5 years time for instance, I will Heavy Rain.

I agree about Prototype, one thing I loved about Heavy Rain, its not repetaive, alway something new and different. I only finished it a week or so ago.. but I want to start it again. How do you get Platinum in it? I'm glad I own Heavy Rain and it is one of those games that you talk to people about.

I've been doing lots of psp, i got persona 3 portable off the us store, and that's seriously been sucking the LIFE out of me lol. it's been awhile since an rpg, much less a jrpg has taken my heart away from me like this. also been on fat princess a bit, been working through valkryia chronicles, picked up dj hero for cheap and being having a lot of fun with bayonnetta aswell.

Id imagine that heavy rain will get even cheaper come move edition. not like ur losing out either as u will still be able to use move. If there's gonna be bonus features i might consider the new move edition though as I'd love to learn more about the process, it was quite a long time in the making.
